When I did search and rescue full time we used polyester ropes (I think we used sterling htp statics in fact) in our swiftwater kits because the fibers don't absorb much water. These ropes will be fine in the water, well, at least assuming your using it as intended.

Am I the only one that can't read anything this guy writes without my subconcious screaming "TROLL!"? I mean, even when there is nothing really trolly about his posts, his origins were just too trolly for him not to be trollin'.

And here i was thinking he was looking for a good rap or haul line... oh the hugh-manatee!

I want to be sure that the rope is dry treated. The representative told me that Polyester rope is water phobic and that they have never dry treated a polyester rope.

Will this rope be safe and durable if or when it gets rained on?

Did you read the information on the Sterling web site:

Holy cow. It says the answer right there unless "great choice for working around water" is not good enough for you.

You're actually expecting intelligence from someone who intentionally calls themselves "p8ntballsk8r" and has a reputation for either trolling or asking moronic questions? How quaint!

Nope. I always expect the worse in people but it's hard to resist taking a post like that seriously and then commenting about how idiotic it is. Heck, marc801 means as much to me as sk8bowler or whatever his name is.
